Savoring Autumn: Pumpkin Gnocchi Recipe with Sage Butter

Exploring Autumn Flavors: Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce

As the leaves start to turn golden and the air becomes crisp, I am excited to share a recipe that perfectly captures the essence of fall. Today, I will be guiding you through the process of making Pumpkin Gnocchi with a delicious Sage Butter Sauce. This dish is a warm and comforting blend of seasonal ingredients that will surely become a favorite in your home.

To make this unique dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• 300g pumpkin puree
• 250g flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 100g butter
• 10 fresh sage leaves
• 50g Parmesan cheese

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• fork
• potato ricer
• large pot
• skillet

Start by combining the pumpkin puree, flour, egg, and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to gently mix the ingredients until a smooth dough forms. Once the dough is ready, roll it into long ropes and cut it into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi.

Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, indicating that they are done. Remove the gnocchi from the water and set them aside.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook until the butter is fragrant and the sage leaves are crispy. Toss the cooked gnocchi in the sage butter sauce until they are well coated.

To serve, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the pumpkin gnocchi for an extra layer of flavor. The combination of the earthy pumpkin, aromatic sage, and nutty Parmesan creates a symphony of fall flavors that will delight your taste buds.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to roast the pumpkin before pureeing it for a deeper, caramelized flavor. This extra step adds a level of richness to the dish that is worth the effort.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce. Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or cheese to make it your own. Happy cooking!
